Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What if the Space Shuttle Challenger hadn't exploded? Or Samuel Morse, the inventor of the electric telegraph, had decided to remain a fine artist rather than turn his attention to science? In the same way, these alternative scenarios would have changed the course of history, What If What Wasn't provides a fictional account of how the American political system might look if certain key events had been altered, preempted or never occurred. Would our country be in the same hostile, polarized state of affairs we are experiencing today? Henry Damsky is a bright, socially awkward young man with a strong sense of curiosity and a passionate interest in politics. While attending a rally for a charismatic presidential candidate in September 1960, he spots a man less than fifteen feet away raising a rifle. When Henry tackles the would-be assassin, he inadvertently triggers significant changes in the course of our history. His serendipitous intervention also opens the door for him to become involved in shaping important federal policy and legislation. What If What Is Wasn't? is a rewrite of the past 70 years of American political history. This work of fiction chronicles how different our country might be if events, large and small, had unfolded differently than they did. The story focuses on our contemporary political system, and the impact these changes would have on people in this country. This novel envisions alternative scenarios for core governance issues such as how presidential elections are conducted, reproductive rights, and immigration policy. What if describes how the evolution of the political climate in the US might look quite different. This item is printed on demand.
